DATE: April 26, 2021
BACKGROUND: Sims & Rebecca Norment own 0.5352 acres located at 606 S Church Street.
They are proposing to subdivide the lot for new construction of a single-family home. Hayter
Engineering submitted a Preliminary and Final Plat for the Norment 147 Addition.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The plats were on the April 5, 2021 agenda for the Planning & Zoning
Commission. Sims Norment has a seat on this commission and therefore recused himself on the

approved by the inaction of the commission. A plan or plat is approved by tl:e governing body unless it is
disapproved within thatperiod and in accordance with Section 212.0091.
(b-2) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) or (b), the parties may extend the 30 -day period described by
those subsections for a period not to exceed 30 days if.
(1) the applicant requests the extension in writing to the municipal authority responsible for
approving plats or the governing body of the municipality, as applicable, and

Preliminary & Final Plat for the Planning & Zoning Commission to review.
